Etymology
The word venturi is named after an Italian scientist called Venturi who studied how air and liquids speed up when they pass through a narrow place. So a venturi tube is a special narrow part of a pipe that makes flow go faster and pressure drop, which is why it is used in carburetors and other devices to control flow.
